Kftt’derheim 

The  CMd  Department  of  a 
Home-Making  School 


THE  Kinderheim  is  a residence 
where  educated  young  women 
and  little  children  live  together  in  a 
homelike  relationship;  the  children 
because  they  are  poor  and  homeless 
and  need  to  be  cared  for  and  happily 
occupied;  the  young  woman  because 
they  wish  to  learn  in  this  natural  way 
the  intelligent  care  and  occupation  of 
young  children. 

Provision  is  made  for  about  five 
resident  children  of  nursery  age,  also 
for  a limited  number  of  resident  and 
non-resident  adult  students. 

A short  course  in  the  scientific  care 
and  educational  occupation  of  young 
children  will  be  given  under  the  di- 
rection of  Miss  Elizabeth  Jenkins, 
formerly  principal  of  the  Kindergar- 
ten Training  College,  Sydney,  Aus- 
tralia, assisted  by  a trained  nurse, 
both  of  whom  are  in  residence  at  the 
Kinderheim. 


The  training  is  planned  primarily 
as  a part  of  a Homemaking  Course, 
but  is  a natural  introduction  to  other 
non-professional  work  with  little 
children,  as  well  as  to  the  professions 
of  trained  nurse,  kindergartener, 
playground  and  social  worker.
